The deal was negotiated between Signature’s acquisitions managerBegüm Kayacan Parodiand the Solution Entertainment Group’s co-founderLisa Wilson.
“The idea of a one-man-army against millions of werewolves made Steven C. Miller’s action thriller a very attractive genre proposition for us at Signature,” said Parodi. “It’s something we’re sure U.K. and Irish audiences will happily sink their teeth into ‘Werewolves’ in 2025.”
Wilson added: “We are delighted to have closed another deal for U.K. rights with Signature. ‘Werewolves’ fits perfectly into their wheelhouse, and we look forward to a successful release.”
